Homosexual "Marriage" and the Risk of Suicide By: Bryan
Fischer. ...A new study from Sweden reveals that homosexuals who “marry” each
other are 270% more likely to commit suicide than those in heterosexual
marriages. ...The risk, the authors acknowledge, could be as high as 480%.
...The explanation is surely found in the truth that homosexual conduct is as,
Paul put it in Romans 1, “contrary to nature” ...The Netherlands likewise is a
place noted for its gushing accepting of homosexual behavior. It is probably the
most gay-friendly nation in the world. Yet studies there, according to Life Site
News, indicate that homosexuals experience exaggerated rates of “mood disorders,
anxiety disorders, substance abuse disorders, suicide attempts, eating
disorders, and panic attacks.” ...The CDC reports, for instance, that of all the
men who have ever been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, somewhere between 60-65% of
victims contracted it by having sex with other men. ...In addition to the risk
of HIV/AIDS, homosexuals suffer elevated incidences of an entire range of
diseases, including anal cancer and a host of sexually transmitted diseases such
as syphilis.

Homosexuality Is a Danger to Human Health By: Bryan Fischer
- Although there are many reasons to oppose the normalization of homosexuality,
this reason alone would be enough: it represents an enormous risk to human
health.
According to a recent and extensive survey, homosexuals have "excess health
problems" compared to sexually normal people. They suffer disproportionately
from "impaired physical and mental health, heavy alcohol consumption, and heavy
cigarette use." The National Health Interview Survey, which has been conducted
since 1957, included a question about sexual preference for the first time in
2013 and 2014. The results are astounding and alarming for anyone who cares
about people who are trapped in a sexually abnormal lifestyle. The survey
included 69,000 participants - so it can’t be dismissed because of sample size -
and it was published in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical
Association) Internal Medicine, so it can’t be dismissed as the product of right
wing homophobic bigots. The leader of the project is Gilbert Gonzales of the
Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. The survey found that a sexually
non-normative lifestyle takes a particular toll on women and bisexuals. Lesbians
are 91 percent more likely to report inferior health outcomes compared to
heterosexual women, and bisexual women are 100 percent more likely to report
chronic health conditions.

CDC Stats reveal single-largest threat to homosexual life comes from:
other homosexuals - By Gerard M. Nadal - June 17, 2016 (LifeSiteNews)
– Since the left is now engaged in an all-out effort to blame Christianity for
the Orlando massacre, actually committed by a homosexual, muslim, ISIS, jihadi,
then a decent respect for the truth is in order. Christians have not created a
climate of danger for homosexuals. If anything, the following CDC
data clearly indicates where the single-largest threat to homosexual life
comes from: other homosexuals (though under ISIS, that's about to change).
Thirty-five years into the AIDS pandemic, some 311,000 men who have sex with men
(MSM) have died of the disease here in the U.S., and MSM are responsible for
almost 30,000 new HIV infections per year. ...See HIV

50 Years
of Sex Changes, Mental Disorders, and Too Many Suicides - by Walt
Heyer - Thirty-three years ago I
underwent gender-reassignment surgery only to discover it was a temporary
reprieve, not a solution to the underlying comorbid disorders. I have
written books, published articles, and spoken publicly around the world to
enlighten people on the prevalence of suicide among transgender people and on
the risks and regrets of changing genders. Television networks such as ABC
that glamorize transgenders like Bruce Jenner, in his psychological turmoil, do
a great disservice to transgender people and to those who treat them by denying
them a safe environment in which to tackle the deeper issues of comorbid
disorders and suicide. Continuing to ignore history and the warnings in studies
and reports—however inconvenient or politically incorrect they may seem—is no
solution to the treatment of psychological disorders. Ignoring suicides will not
help to prevent them.

o Shigella Infections
among Gay & Bisexual Men (Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention - April 9, 2015) - Shigella germs are present in the feces (poop) of
people with shigellosis while they have diarrhea and up to a few weeks after the
diarrhea has gone away. Shigella is very contagious; exposure to even a tiny
amount of fecal matter with Shigella in it can cause infection. Symptoms usually
start 1-2 days after exposure, but may range from 12-96 hours. Transmission of
Shigella infection occurs in the following ways:
- Person-to-person contact. Shigella passes from stools or soiled fingers of one
person to the mouth of another person, which can happen during sexual activity.
Oral-anal sex, or oral stimulation (i.e., sucking or licking) of the anus (anilingus
or "rimming"), may be especially risky.
- Eating food contaminated by someone who has shigellosis.
- Swallowing recreational or drinking water that was contaminated by infected
fecal matter.

Health survey gives government its first large-scale data on gay,
bisexual population - By Sandhya
Somashekhar - Less than 3 percent of the U.S. population identify themselves
as gay, lesbian or bisexual, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
reported Tuesday in the first large-scale government survey measuring Americans’
sexual orientation. The National
Health Interview Survey, which is the government’s premier tool for annually
assessing Americans’ health and behaviors, found that 1.6 percent of adults
self-identify as gay or lesbian, and 0.7 percent consider themselves bisexual.
The overwhelming majority of adults, 96.6 percent, labeled themselves as
straight in the 2013 survey. An additional 1.1 percent declined to answer,
responded “I don’t know the answer” or said they were “something else.”

o
Are Same-Sex Couples Just Like You? - By Glenn
Stanton - “We are loving, committed and faithful couples just like anyone
else.” If you’ve paid the slightest bit of attention to the same-sex marriage
debate, you’ve heard this very statement in some iteration. It’s not true by
some important measures though. Same-sex male couples are dramatically more
likely to be unfaithful than heterosexual couples. Committed lesbian
relationships are more likely to break up than both male-male and opposite-sex
couples, by dramatic margins.
...First, it should be noted that the research is strong and
numerous enough that a recent and very provocative Atlantic cover
story on what straights could learn from gay marriage couldn’t ignore it.
Liza Mundy, the article’s author, doesn’t appear to have a conservative bone in
her body, yet she is fair and straight-up honest with the research on the nature
of committed same-sex relationships.
... Mundy explains that studies have found “higher dissolution
rates among same-sex couples” in Scandinavia – one of the world’s most
gay-friendly cultures — than married heterosexual couples. This study, published
inDemography,
found that even though same-sex couples enter their legal unions at older ages —
a marker related to greater relational stability – male same-sex marriages break
up at twice the rate of heterosexual marriages. And the break-up rate for
lesbians? A stunning 77% higher than the same-sex male unions! When controlling
for possible confounding factors, the “risk of divorce for female partnerships
actually is more than twice than that for male unions.” Mundy did not give her
reader these important specifics from this study. Other studies show the same
things.
...Other studies – conducted by celebrated lesbian scholars – find
notable instability in lesbian homes, even those with children. The current
National Longitudinal Lesbian Family Study (NLLFS) found “a
significant difference” in family dissolution rates when comparing lesbian with
mother/father headed families, 56% and 36% respectively. (p. 1201)
... Men in same-sex, long-term relationships are dramatically more
likely to be unfaithful to their partners. But that depends on how you define
“fidelity”. It is common in male-male relationships to differentiate between
“fidelity” and “monogamy.” Monogamy is having sex with only one person: your
partner. Fidelity however is often living according the rules made about how
extra-relational sexual hook-ups will take place. A partner who runs afoul of
this extracurricular agreement will be deemed unfaithful. How many hetero
couples do you know who have such an agreement worked out in their marriage?
We’ll see in a moment. A noted 2010 study on non-monogamy in long-term gay
relationships by two gay-affirming scholars — the
Couples Study — observes in their report’s first sentence: “…non-monogamous
relationships are very common in the gay community…” Their data showed that of
the non-monogamous, long-term couples in their study, 42 percent made an
arrangement for outside-sexual relationships within the first three months of
the relationship’s beginning and by the end of the first year, that number
increased to 49 percent. At the seventh anniversary mark, an additional 24
percent of gay couples adopted such agreements. So such agreements are
increasingly made as these relationships grow longer.
...By any measure, these are very different kinds of relationships
compared to those of long-term heterosexuals. As such, it is difficult to say
with honesty that serious gay and lesbian relationships are just like
heterosexual relationships. A substantial body of research and articles written
in idealistic support same-sex relationships makes this consistently clear,
beyond any honest debate.

o
HOW HOMOSEXUALITY IS BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH - By
JEFF ALLEN - If someone were
to warn a drug addict about the dangers of abusing illicit substances, no one
would label them as hateful. However, when the same principle is applied to
homosexual behavior, the daggers come out and the “anti-gay,” “homophobic” or
“hater” epithets are angrily and aggressively hurled about. The typical LGBTQ
response to the above analogy is to claim that illegal drug usage is a choice,
but homosexuality is not. As volitional beings, though, we most certainly have
the ability to control how, when and with whom we are sexually intimate.
Therefore, the most loving thing that a Christian can do is to tell the truth
and steer homosexuals away from a harmful lifestyle — more appropriately
referred to as a deathstyle.
By now, most of our readers are quite aware of the numerous
health issues associated with the homosexual lifestyle’s risky and dangerous
behavior. The typical physical risks discussed include anorectal disorders
(hemorrhoids, fissures, warts, hemorrhaging, anal cancer), HIV/AIDS and a whole
host of other harmful STDs (Chlamydia trachomatis, Cryptosporidium, Giardia
lamblia, Herpes simplex virus, Human papilloma virus, Isospora belli,
Microsporidia, Gonorrhea, Viral hepatitis types B & C, Syphilis). Although each
of these physical health hazards can also be found among heterosexuals, they
occur with extraordinary frequency among the homosexual population. And all of
these factors contribute to the shorter lifespans reported among members of
their community.
As further evidence of the physical and mental health risks of
LGBTQ practices, Kathryn Foxhall, in a recent article
for Contemporary Pediatrics, indicates the following: High school students
who are sexual minorities [LGBTQ] are more likely to take risks that increase
their chances of cancer than their heterosexual peers, almost across the board,
according to an analysis of the Youth Risk Behavior Surveys (YRBS). Sexual
minority adolescents were more likely to take risks in behaviors such as use of
tobacco, use of alcohol, binge drinking, early intercourse, no condom at last
sexual intercourse, drug use at last intercourse, being overweight, purging, and
little physical activity. The YRBS, conducted in U.S. high schools, was
sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
A February American
Journal of Public Health study, one of a collection of research articles,
found the following disparities between LGBTQ and heterosexual adolescents:
CIGARETTE SMOKING - 5.6% LGBTQ 14.4%
heterosexual
BINGE DRINKING - 34.3% LGBTQ 22.1%
heterosexual
OVERWEIGHT - 32.7% LGBTQ 27.2%
heterosexual
The researchers, including the director of the study, Margaret
Rosario, PhD, with the department of psychology in the City University of New
York, say cancer “undoubtedly increases as risk behaviors become part of the
behavioral repertoire; are repeated over time; become habitual; and possibly
influence the development of other cancer-related behaviors.”
Kathryn Foxhall also reported: A study by CDC researchers noted
medically serious suicide attempts are perhaps the greatest indicator of future
suicide. Among their findings, taken from YRBS data from 2002 to 2009 from each
site with sexual orientation measures, were suggestions of higher risks of
medically serious attempts among lesbians, bisexuals, and those with both-sex
contact.
A YRBS study led by Harvard researchers found that 12.6% of high
school students report rarely or never wearing a seat belt, but nonuse was 48%
higher for male bisexuals compared with heterosexuals; 85% higher for lesbians;
46% higher for female bisexuals; and 51% higher for females who were unsure
about their orientation.
Finally, a study entitled
“Gay obituaries closely track officially reported deaths from AIDS,” published
in Psychological Reports (2005;96:693-697), analyzed tens of thousands of gay
obituaries and compared them with AIDS deaths data from the Centers for Disease
Control (CDC) and revealed that the life expectancy for homosexuals is about
twenty years shorter than that of the general public. These findings basically
confirmed a similar study conducted
in Vancouver, British Columbia and published in the International Journal of
Epidemiology (1997, Vol. 26, 657-61). Homosexuals have fiercely disputed this
research, but it makes absolute sense that risky behavior would result in at
least some diminishing of lifespans.
One principal tactic of the homosexual lobby is to blame all of
these negative health impacts upon society’s lack of approval for their
lifestyle. However, it is very important for every individual to be personally
accountable for their own actions. Without this, we are inviting denials of
culpability and rationalizations for all types of detrimental behaviors. And
people will be encouraged to dismiss any and every bad action on the basis of an
unending laundry list of excuses.
As Christians, we believe that God offers us the grace to be
transformed and the ability to exercise self-control. Blaming others for our own
failures will never bring about the righteous life that God desires. Taking
responsibility for our own lives, however, is the key to personal and spiritual
improvement. So, the homosexual would be wise to receive God’s gracious offer
and abandon the lifestyle that is quite literally killing them. We realize that
it would be much easier to tell them otherwise. But we love them too much to do
that.

o Numerous
health issues associated with the homosexual lifestyle’s risky and dangerous
behavior. (FactsAboutYouth.com) Unhealthy sexual behaviors
occur among both heterosexuals and homosexuals. Yet the medical and social
science evidence indicate that homosexual behavior is uniformly unhealthy.
Although both male and female homosexual practices lead to increases in Sexually
Transmitted Diseases, the practices and diseases are sufficiently different that
they merit separate discussion.
1. Male Homosexual Behavior - Men having sex with other men leads
to greater health risks than men having sex with women(1) not only because of
promiscuity but also because of the nature of sex among men. A British
researcher summarizes the danger as follows: “Male homosexual behaviour is not
simply either ‘active’ or ‘passive,’ since penile-anal, mouth-penile, and
hand-anal sexual contact is usual for both partners, and mouth-anal contact is
not infrequent. . . . Mouth-anal contact is the reason for the relatively high
incidence of diseases caused by bowel pathogens in male homosexuals. Trauma may
encourage the entry of micro-organisms and thus lead to primary syphilitic
lesions occurring in the anogenital area. . . . In addition to sodomy, trauma
may be caused by foreign bodies, including stimulators of various kinds, penile
adornments, and prostheses.”(2) Although the specific activities addressed below
may be practiced by heterosexuals at times, homosexual men engage in these
activities to a far greater extent. (3)
a. Anal-genital - Anal intercourse is the sine qua non of sex for
many gay men. (4) Yet human physiology makes it clear that the body was not
designed to accommodate this activity. The rectum is significantly different
from the vagina with regard to suitability for penetration by a penis. The
vagina has natural lubricants and is supported by a network of muscles. It is
composed of a mucus membrane with a multi-layer stratified squamous epithelium
that allows it to endure friction without damage and to resist the immunological
actions caused by semen and sperm. In comparison, the anus is a delicate
mechanism of small muscles that comprise an “exit-only” passage. With repeated
trauma, friction and stretching, the sphincter loses its tone and its ability to
maintain a tight seal. Consequently, anal intercourse leads to leakage of fecal
material that can easily become chronic. The potential for injury is exacerbated
by the fact that the intestine has only a single layer of cells separating it
from highly vascular tissue, that is, blood. Therefore, any organisms that are
introduced into the rectum have a much easier time establishing a foothold for
infection than they would in a vagina. The single layer tissue cannot withstand
the friction associated with penile penetration, resulting in traumas that
expose both participants to blood, organisms in feces, and a mixing of bodily
fluids. Furthermore, ejaculate has components that are immunosuppressive. In the
course of ordinary reproductive physiology, this allows the sperm to evade the
immune defenses of the female. Rectal insemination of rabbits has shown that
sperm impaired the immune defenses of the recipient. (5) Semen may have a
similar impact on humans. (6) The end result is that the fragility of the anus
and rectum, along with the immunosuppressive effect of ejaculate, make
anal-genital intercourse a most efficient manner of transmitting HIV and other
infections. The list of diseases found with extraordinary frequency among male
homosexual practitioners as a result of anal intercourse is alarming:
Anal Cancer
Chlamydia trachomatis
Cryptosporidium
Giardia lamblia
Herpes simplex virus
Human immunodeficiency virus
Human papilloma virus
Isospora belli
Microsporidia
Gonorrhea
Viral hepatitis types B & C
Syphilis (7)
Sexual transmission of some of these diseases is so rare in the
exclusively heterosexual population as to be virtually unknown. Others, while
found among heterosexual and homosexual practitioners, are clearly predominated
by those involved in homosexual activity. Syphilis, for example is found among
heterosexual and homosexual practitioners. But in 1999, King County, Washington
(Seattle), reported that 85 percent of syphilis cases were among self-identified
homosexual practitioners. (8) And as noted above, syphilis among homosexual men
is now at epidemic levels in San Francisco. (9)
A 2010 CDC data analysis underscores the disproportionate impact of HIV and
syphilis among gay and bisexual men in the United States. The data, presented at
CDC’s 2010 National STD Prevention Conference, found that the rate of new HIV
diagnosis among men who have sex with men (MSM) is more than 44 times that of
other men and more than 40 times that of women. The rate of primary and
secondary syphilis among MSM is more than 46 times that of other men and more
than 71 times that of women. (10)
A 1988 CDC survey identified 21 percent of all Hepatitis B cases as
being homosexually transmitted while 18 percent were heterosexually transmitted.
(11) Since homosexuals comprise such a small percent of the population (only 1-3
percent), (12) they have a significantly higher rate of infection than
heterosexuals. (13)
Anal intercourse also puts men at significant risk for anal cancer. Anal cancer
is the result of infection with some subtypes of human papilloma virus (HPV),
which are known viral carcinogens. Data as of 1989 showed the rates of anal
cancer in male homosexual practitioners to be 10 times that of heterosexual
males, and growing. 30 Thus, the prevalence of anal cancer among gay men is of
great concern. For those with AIDS, the rates are doubled. (14) Other physical
problems associated with anal intercourse are:
hemorrhoids
anal fissures
anorectal trauma
retained foreign bodies. (15)
b. Oral-anal - There is an extremely high rate of parasitic and
other intestinal infections documented among male homosexual practitioners
because of oral-anal contact. In fact, there are so many infections that a
syndrome called “the Gay Bowel” is described in the medical literature.
(16) “Gay bowel syndrome constitutes a group of conditions that occur among
persons who practice unprotected anal intercourse, anilingus, or fellatio
following anal intercourse.” (17) Although some women have been diagnosed with
some of the gastrointestinal infections associated with “gay bowel,” the vast
preponderance of patients with these conditions are men who have sex with men.
(18)
“Rimming” is the street name given to oralanal contact. It is
because of this practice that intestinal parasites ordinarily found in the
tropics are encountered in the bodies of American gay men. Combined with anal
intercourse and other homosexual practices, “rimming” provides a rich
opportunity for a variety of infections. Men who have sex with men account for
the lion’s share of the increasing number of cases in America of sexually
transmitted infections that are not generally spread through sexual contact.
These diseases, with consequences that range from severe and even
life-threatening to mere annoyances, include Hepatitis A, (19) Giardia lamblia,
Entamoeba histolytica, (20) Epstein-Barr virus, (21) Neisseria meningitides,
(22) Shigellosis, Salmonellosis, Pediculosis, scabies and Campylobacter.
(23) The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) identified a 1991 outbreak of
Hepatitis A in New York City, in which 78 percent of male respondents identified
themselves as homosexual or bisexual. (24) While Hepatitis A can be transmitted
by routes other than sexual, a preponderance of Hepatitis A is found in gay men
in multiple states. (25) Salmonella is rarely associated with sexual activity
except among gay men who have oral-anal and oral-genital contact following anal
intercourse. (26) The most unsettling new discovery is the reported sexual
transmission of typhoid. This water-borne disease, well known in the tropics,
only infects 400 people each year in the United States, usually as a result of
ingestion of contaminated food or water while abroad. But sexual transmission
was diagnosed in Ohio in a series of male sex partners of one male who had
traveled to Puerto Rico. (27)
In America, Human Herpes Virus 8 (called Herpes Type 8 or HHV-8) is
a disease found exclusively among male homosexual practitioners. Researchers
have long noted that men who contracted AIDS through homosexual behavior
frequently developed a previously rare form of cancer called Kaposi’s sarcoma.
Men who contract HIV/AIDS through heterosexual sex or intravenous drug use
rarely display this cancer. Recent studies confirm that Kaposi’s sarcoma results
from infection with HHV-8. The New England Journal of Medicine described one
cohort in San Francisco where 38 percent of the men who admitted any homosexual
contact within the previous five years tested positive for this virus while none
of the exclusively heterosexual men tested positive. The study predicted that
half of the men with both HIV and HHV-8 would develop the cancer within 10
years. (28) The medical literature is currently unclear as to the precise types
of sexual behavior that transmit HHV-8, but there is a suspicion that it may be
transmitted via saliva. (29)
c. Human Waste - Some gay men sexualize human waste, including the
medically dangerous practice of coprophilia, which means sexual contact with
highly infectious fecal wastes. (30) This practice exposes the participants to
all of the risks of anal-oral contact and many of the risks of analgenital
contact.
d. Fisting - “Fisting” refers to the insertion of a hand or forearm
into the rectum, and is far more damaging than anal intercourse. Tears can
occur, along with incompetence of the anal sphincter. The result can include
infections, inflammation and, consequently, enhanced susceptibility to future
STDs. Twenty-two percent of homosexuals in one survey admitted to having
participated in this practice. (31)
e. Sadism - The sexualization of pain and cruelty is described as
sadism, named for the 18th Century novelist, the Marquis de Sade. His novel
Justine describes repeated rapes and non-consensual whippings. (32) Not all
persons who practice sadism engage in the same activities. But a recent
advertisement for a sadistic “conference” included a warning that participants
might see “intentional infliction of pain [and] cutting of the skin with
bleeding . . . .” Scheduled workshops included “Vaginal Fisting” (with a
demonstration), “Sacred Sexuality and Cutting” with “a demonstration of a
cutting with a live subject,” “Rough Rope,” and a “Body Harness” workshop that
was to involve “demonstrating and coaching the tying of erotic body harnesses
that involve the genitals, male and female.” (33) A similar event entitled the
“Vicious Valentine” occurred near Chicago on Feb. 15-17, 2002. (34) The medical
consequences of such activities range from mild to fatal, depending upon the
nature of the injuries inflicted. (35) As many as 37 percent of homosexuals have
practiced some form of sadism. (36)
f. Conclusion - The consequences of homosexual activity have
significantly altered the delivery of medical care to the population at-large.
With the increased incidence of STD organisms in unexpected places, simple sore
throat is no longer so simple. Doctors must now ask probing questions of their
patients or risk making a misdiagnosis. The evaluation of a sore throat must now
include questions about oral and anal sex. A case of hemorrhoids is no longer
just a surgical problem. We must now inquire as to sexual practice and consider
that anal cancer, rectal gonorrhea, or rectal chlamydia may be secreted in what
deceptively appears to be “just hemorrhoids.” (37) Moreover, data shows that
rectal and throat gonorrhea, for example, are without symptoms in 75 percent of
cases. (38)
The impact of the health consequences of gay sex is not confined to
homosexual practitioners. Even though nearly 11 million people in America are
directly affected by cancer, compared to slightly more than three-quarters of a
million with AIDS, (39) AIDS spending per patient is more than seven times that
for cancer. (40) The inequity for diabetes and heart disease is even more
striking. (41) Consequently, the disproportionate amount of money spent on AIDS
detracts from research into cures for diseases that affect more people.
2. Female Homosexual Behavior - Lesbians are also at higher risk
for STDs and other health problems than heterosexuals. (42) However, the health
consequences of lesbianism are less well documented than for male homosexuals.
This is partly because the devastation of AIDS has caused male homosexual
activity to draw the lion’s share of medical attention. But it is also because
there are fewer lesbians than gay men, (43) and there is no evidence that
lesbians practice the same extremes of same-sex promiscuity as gay men. The
lesser amount of medical data does not mean, however, that female homosexual
behavior is without recognized pathology. Much of the pathology is associated
with heterosexual activity by lesbians.
Among the difficulties in establishing the pathologies associated
with lesbianism is the problem of defining who is a lesbian. (44) Study after
study documents that the overwhelming majority of self-described lesbians have
had sex with men. (45) Australian researchers at an STD clinic found that only 7
percent of their lesbian sample had never had sexual contact with a male. (46)
Not only did lesbians commonly have sex with men, but with lots of men. They
were 4.5 times as likely as exclusively heterosexual controls to have had more
than 50 lifetime male sex partners. (47) Consequently, the lesbians’ median
number of male partners was twice that of exclusively heterosexual women.
(48) Lesbians were three to four times more likely than heterosexual women to
have sex with men who were high-risk for HIV disease-homosexual, bisexual, or IV
drug-abusing men. (49) The study “demonstrates that WSW [women who have sex with
women] are more likely than non- WSW to engage in recognized HIV risk behaviours
such as IDU [intravenous drug use], sex work, sex with a bisexual man, and sex
with a man who injects drugs, confirming previous reports.” (50)
Bacterial vaginosis, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, heavy cigarette
smoking, alcohol abuse, intravenous drug use, and prostitution were present in
much higher proportions among female homosexual practitioners. (51) Intravenous
drug abuse was nearly six times as common in this group. (52) In one study of
women who had sex only with women in the prior 12 months, 30 percent had
bacterial vaginosis. (53) Bacterial vaginosis is associated with higher risk for
pelvic inflammatory disease and other sexually transmitted infections. (54)
In view of the record of lesbians having sex with many men,
including gay men, and the increased incidence of intravenous drug use among
lesbians, lesbians are not low risk for disease. Although researchers have only
recently begun studying the transmission of STDs among lesbians, diseases such
as “crabs,” genital warts, chlamydia and herpes have been reported. (55) Even
women who have never had sex with men have been found to have HPV,
trichomoniasis and anogenital warts.56

TOP DOCTOR: 'GAY' BLOOD WILL TAINT U.S. SUPPLY --- 'Validating people's
feelings is not our job' By CHELSEA
SCHILLING - Should homosexual men – a group with the highest HIV-infection
rates in the nation – be allowed to donate blood? That’s the question the
federal government is considering this week as it re-evaluates whether it should
lift the 30-year ban on homosexual blood donation. ...Dr. Jay Brooks, an expert
in blood banking and transfusion at the University of Florida’s College of
Medicine, told WND the problem with “donations from men who’ve had sex with men
is that they have a much higher prevalence of HIV than the heterosexual
community.” “They have a much higher prevalence,” he emphasized.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC,
released a 2010 analysis of heavily affected populations showing “men who have
sex with men,” or MSM, account for a
large majority of new HIV infections, much more so than even injection drug
users, or IDUs:
CDC estimates of new HIV infections in 2010 show homosexual men have a much
higher incidence of HIV infection than other groups, including injection drug
users, or IDUs
In fact, “CDC estimates that MSM represent approximated 4 percent of the
male population in the United States, but male-to-male sex accounted for more
than three-fourths (78 percent) of new HIV infections among men and nearly
two-thirds (63 percent) of all new infections in 2010.” An estimated 1.1 million
Americans are currently infected with HIV, and at least one quarter of those are
said to be unaware of their infection. While some people experience symptoms
early, others go years without experiencing any signs.

CDC: 94 to 95 Percent of HIV Cases among Boys and Young Men Linked to
Homosexual Sex CDC funds “gay” activist groups like GLSEN that
promote acceptance of behavior tied closely to HIV By Peter LaBarbera ...a
graphic from a CDC (Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention) online slide presentation,
“HIV Surveillance in Adolescents and Young Adults” – breaking down the
incidence of HIV among young men ages 13-24. In 2011, an astonishing 94.9
percent of HIV diagnoses among teenage boys (13-19-years-old) were linked to
homosexual (“male-to-male”) sex. And 94.1 percent of the cases among young men
ages 20-24 (more analysis follows graphic) were from “gay” sex:
With the incidence of HIV among men so closely tied to homosexual
sex, shouldn’t the government and all concerned and compassionate adults be
urging young men and teenaged boys NOT to engage in or experiment with dangerous
homosexual behavior? And yet, the CDC and other pro-”gay” institutions
(including many schools public and private) are doing exactly the opposite, as
they focus instead on affirming “gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender” youth
as a “sexual minority.” Feds Fund ‘Gay’ Youth Activist Groups Another CDC
document,
“HIV and Young Men Who Have Sex with Men” (June 2012), reports that in 2011,
the CDC awarded funds to two homosexual activists groups — the Gay, Lesbian, and
Straight Education Network (GLSEN) and the
Gay-Straight Alliance Network (GSAN) —
“to assist CDC-funded public health and environmental changes to help schools
and communities meet the health and medical needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender youth.”

men who have sex with men), the CDC’s focus on building self-esteem among LGBT
youth and creating a “positive school climate” for homosexuals — includes
forming “gay”-affirming clubs in schools — seems disconnected from reality.

o
Centers
for Disease Control - HIV/AIDS and Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM) Revised
June 2007 - In the United States, HIV infection and AIDS have had a tremendous
effect on men who have sex with men (MSM). MSM accounted for 71% of all HIV
infections among male adults and adolescents in 2005 (based on data from 33
states with long-term, confidential name-based HIV reporting), even though only
about 5% to 7% of male adults and adolescents in the United States identify
themselves as MSM [1, 2]. The number of HIV diagnoses for MSM decreased during
the 1980s and 1990s, but recent surveillance data show an increase in HIV
diagnoses for this group [3, 4]. Additionally, racial disparities exist with
regard to HIV diagnoses within the MSM population. A recent study, conducted in
5 large US cities, found that HIV prevalence among black MSM (46%) was more than
twice that among white MSM (21%) [5]. The recent overall increase in HIV
diagnoses for MSM, coupled with racial disparities, strongly points to a
continued need for appropriate prevention and education services tailored for
specific subgroups of MSM, especially those who are members of minority
races/ethnicities.

STATISTICS HIV/AIDS in 2005
(The following bullets refer to the 33 states with long-term, confidential
name-based HIV reporting. See the box, before the References section, for a list
of the 33 states.)

**In the 33 states with long-term, confidential name-based HIV reporting, an
estimated 19,620 MSM (18,296 MSM and 1,324 MSM who inject drugs) received a
diagnosis of HIV/AIDS, accounting for 71% of male adults and adolescents and 53%
of all people receiving an HIV/AIDS diagnosis that year [1].

**The number of HIV/AIDS diagnoses among MSM (including MSM who inject drugs)
increased 11% from 2001 through 2005 [1]. It is not known whether this increase
is due to an increase in the testing of persons with risk factors, which results
in more HIV diagnoses, or due to an increase in cases of HIV infection

**An estimated 231,893 MSM (207,810 MSM and 24,083 MSM who inject drugs) were
living with HIV/AIDS [1].

o
The truth about homosexual sex
by Marcia Segelstein - No one wants to hear it...no one wants to say
it...but the cold, hard truth is that homosexual sex is risky at best,
life-threatening at worst. Caution: Objectionable content - The Centers
for Disease Control recently released information
from a data analysis regarding the transmission of sexually
transmitted diseases. Presented at the CDC's National STD Prevention
Conference, the data indicated that the rate of new HIV cases among men
who have sex with men (referred to in shorthand as MSM) is over 44 times
that of other men.
In an effort to look at these figures from a purely scientific and public
health perspective, let's substitute smoking and cancer for homosexual sex
and HIV. If
the CDC released information which made a direct correlation between
smoking and extremely high rates of getting cancer, people would take
notice. The media would write about it. Public health organizations would
make sure the news was spread. Campaigns would be launched to save lives
by discouraging smoking. Public funds would be spent to deter people from
engaging in such dangerous behavior. Schools would teach children about
the dangers of smoking.

oGay activists
acknowledge severe health risks of lifestyle By Bryan Fischer -In
a truly remarkable development, homosexual activists in Canada have openly
admitted the rather severe health risks associated with their
non-normative sexual behavior. A group of six Canadian "queers," to use the gay
media's term, have filed a complaint with the Canadian Human Rights
Commission, charging the nation's entire healthcare system with
homophobia. In what may wind up in the "What were they thinking?"
file, they have dug a deep hole for themselves by demanding that more
attention be given to "the many health issues that are endemic to our
community." What would those "endemic" issues be? Well, here is
their list, not mine: lower life expectancy, higher rates of substance
abuse, depression, HIV/AIDS, anal cancer, and suicide, and higher rates
of breast cancer and cervical cancer among lesbians.
Astonishingly, these activists admit what we have been
saying for years, that "gay/bisexual men have a life expectancy 20 years
less than the average man" in Canada. Even the life expectancy of
lesbians, though not as severely impacted, "is still lower than the life
expectancy of the general population." Suicide rates, they admit, are anywhere from double to
13.9 times higher than the general population. By their own estimates,
homosexuals comprise 30% of all suicides in Canada. They admit that smoking rates among gays are up to
three times higher, alcohol use up to seven times higher, and illicit
drug use up to 19 times higher than the general population.
They themselves openly acknowledge that 76.1% of all
AIDS cases since statistics were first kept occur in gay and bisexual
men, and further acknowledge that the infection rate is up to 26 times
higher than among the population as a whole. When it comes to cancer of various types, they
candidly admit that "gay men, lesbians and bisexual men and women are at
higher risk for some cancers as a result of their sexual orientation
(emphasis added)."
Smoking and alcohol use puts them at elevated risk of
lung and liver cancer, while their sexual activity increases their risk
of anal cancer and cancers of the head, throat and neck through frequent
exposure to HPV, the human papilloma virus. If there was ever a clarion call for our entire
society to say with one united voice that homosexual behavior is a
danger to health and should be discouraged at all costs, this is it.
We've found one voice as a society with regard to drug use and drunk
driving; it's time we find it with regard to homosexual behavior.

o Homosexual
promiscuity: breeding a national health problem By
David R. Usher and Cynthia
L. Davis - "Marriage Equality" is perhaps the most convoluted canard of our
time. Underneath the hood of the homosexual revolution churns the most serious
avoidable health problems of our time. The majority of our most dangerous sexual
diseases emanate from the homosexual revolution and are transmitted to
wives,
infants, children, and men by LBGTQ individuals who are most often bisexual.
Bisexuals are the majority in the LBGTQ movement. Approximately
1.8% to4% of
Americans are bisexual. This broad gateway infects unsuspecting heterosexual
Americans with serious or fatal diseases. The impact to heterosexual women is
serious. 70%
of HIV infections in women are attributed to heterosexual
contact. The impact of homosexuality on the rest of us can no longer be
ignored: (Much more at link.)

o Study: Gay men spreading AIDS at alarming rate A government
survey released May 31 shows 4.4 percent of gay and bisexual men ages 23 to 29
are newly infected each year with
HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. ...It suggests even more staggering
infection rates for blacks in that group: 14.7 percent -- one in seven -- become
HIV-positive each year. ...``There's all these posters around that say you can
climb mountains and do whatever with HIV and AIDS. There's not enough messages
about the price you have to pay,'' he said. Health officials expressed extreme
concern about the high new-infection rates among young black gays and bisexuals,
saying the stigma in the black community of having HIV or AIDS may be keeping
testing rates low. ...Since the discovery of AIDS -- first reported in a 1981
government health bulletin as a strange form of pneumonia -- there have been
about 750,000 reported cases in America. Nearly 450,000 of those patients have
died.

...In his own study of 2,428 obituaries from The San
Francisco Chronicle and The Boston Globe, Cameron said the median age of death
for conventionally married men was 82, women 85, similar to Denmark. Of 1,400
obituaries in San Francisco's gay press, the median age of death was 54 for gays
who died without a listed partner, 51 with. For lesbians, the median age of
death was 56 for those without a listed partner, but 54 with. For transsexuals,
the corresponding figures were 46 and 42.5. "Whether informal, as in San
Francisco, or formal, as in Denmark, homosexual partnerships were associated
with lessened lifespan," said Cameron, "just the opposite of man-woman
marriage."

..."No
responsible leader of any party, and certainly no conservative with any
integrity, would be supporting same-sex marriage if he actually understood the
empirical science that associates homosexuality with early death and
disproportionately high rates of pedophilia, pederasty, molestation and
predatory recruitment," Cameron said.

o Love Is Not the Same as Acceptance By Bill Muehlenberg -
Can you love someone while disapproving of what they do? In our morally confused
times many folks think not. They think that we must simply accept anything; not
to do so means we are unloving or intolerant. And governments have bought this
contorted moral reasoning as well. But this is a recipe for disaster, and we had
better get such matters sorted out before we cause even more damage. Let me tie
this in to a common question.
I am often asked what I would do if one of my children were caught out in
some obvious sinful behavior or lifestyle. The homosexual activists especially
like to throw this one out: ‘What would you do if your child came out as a
homosexual?’ They seem to think that this is a conversation stopper, and that
they have nicely cornered me. Well no, it is not the end of the conversation,
and no they have not cornered me. The answer is actually rather simple: I would
of course continue to love my child, even though I would not approve of the
course of action they have embarked upon.
...What do you do if your child comes out as a homosexual? You love
them and always be there for them. But you do not condone or mollycoddle their
dangerous and risky behaviour. Governments too should do the same – and most are
when it comes to something like tobacco use. Yet they have caved in when it
comes to an equally high-risk lifestyle: homosexuality.

o Identical twins have
the same genes or DNA. They are nurtured in equal prenatal conditions. If
homosexuality is caused by genetics or prenatal conditions and one twin is gay,
the co-twin should also be gay. By Mark Ellis - Eight major studies
of identical twins in Australia, the U.S., and Scandinavia during the last two
decades all arrive at the same conclusion: gays were not born that way. “At best
genetics is a minor factor,” says Dr. Neil Whitehead, PhD. Whitehead worked for
the New Zealand government as a scientific researcher for 24 years, then spent
four years working for the United Nations and International Atomic Energy
Agency. Most recently, he serves as a consultant to Japanese universities about
the effects of radiation exposure. His PhD is in biochemistry and statistics.
...Because identical twins are always genetically identical,
homosexuality cannot be genetically dictated. “No-one is born gay,” he notes.
“The predominant things that create homosexuality in one identical twin and not
in the other have to be post-birth factors.” Dr. Whitehead believes same-sex
attraction (SSA) is caused by “non-shared factors,” things happening to one
twin but not the other, or a personal response to an event by one of the twins
and not the other.
...“Sexual orientation is not set in concrete,” he notes. Even more
remarkable, most of the changes occur without counseling or therapy. “These
changes are not therapeutically induced, but happen ‘naturally’ in life, some
very quickly,” Dr. Whitehead observes. “Most changes in sexual orientation are
towards exclusive heterosexuality.” Numbers of people who have changed towards
exclusive heterosexuality are greater than current numbers of bisexuals and
homosexuals combined. In other words, ex-gays outnumber actual gays. The
fluidity is even more pronounced among adolescents, as Bearman and Brueckner’s
study demonstrated. “They found that from 16 to 17-years-old, if a person had a
romantic attraction to the same sex, almost all had switched one year later.”
“The authors were pro-gay and they commented that the only stability was among
the heterosexuals, who stayed the same year after year. Adolescents are a
special case—generally changing their attractions from year to year.”

o Gay Marketing/Gay Marriage: What Are The Real Numbers? By Marilyn
Assenheim -
What percentage of America’s population is gay? Go ahead, guess. If you
presumed 10 percent, 25 percent or even 30 percent of the nation’s makeup, you
would be in the majority of respondents according to Gallup research polls
spanning a decade. But you would still be dead wrong. Gallup conducted surveys
in 2002 and 2011 asking respondents how large a chunk of the population they
believed was homosexual. Both polls found that participants vastly overestimated
the actual figure. Not surprisingly the percentage estimated by those polled had
grown from the 2002 to the 2011 analysis, as awareness of homosexuality resulted
in decreased stigmatization over time. Studies, however, conclude that the
actual number of homosexuals in America, gay men, lesbians and transgender,
comprise a whopping 1.7% of the population.

o What About the
Children? American College of Pediatricians Warns Against Same-Sex Families
by TOM MCFEELY - “The environment in which children are reared is absolutely
critical to their development,” the college states in a position statement about
homosexual parenting posted in the “Position Statements” section of its website,
acpeds.org. “Given the current body of research,
the American College of Pediatricians believes it is inappropriate, potentially
hazardous to children, and dangerously irresponsible to change the age-old
prohibition on homosexual parenting, whether by adoption, foster care, or by
reproductive manipulation,” it says. “This position is rooted in the best
available science.” The American College of Pediatricians’ position statement
references the many studies that have found that children thrive best in
families with a married mother and father. ...Stefanowicz said she also
learned from an early age that she shouldn’t discuss what her family life was
like. One of the things it included was accompanying her father to sites where
the homosexual cruising subculture was occurring, such as parks and beaches and
bathhouses. Along with witnessing her father’s abnormal sexual behaviors,
Stefanowicz said she also had to deal with other problems that he and his
partners had, including mental health issues and addictions. Other adults who
were raised in same-sex households have told Stefanowicz that they had to
wrestle with the negative consequences of the same kind of experiences.

...American College of Pediatricians board member Cretella said that the
interests of children like Dawn are being ignored in the renewed debate over the
legalization of same-sex “marriage” that was triggered by last month’s
California Supreme Court decision legalizing such unions in that state. “The way
the issue has been framed by same-sex marriage activists is purely looking at
individual rights — the rights of adults,” she said. “And they have removed any
concept of family from the definition of marriage.” .

..Today, she is an accountant and home schools her two children and operates a
website, http://dawnstefanowicz.com,
dedicated to providing support and healing to other people reared in homosexual
families. And she’s also determined to tell Americans about the heartbreak they
are inviting if they allow courts and legislatures to legalize homosexual
“marriage” nationally, as Canada’s federal parliament did in 2005. Said
Stefanowicz, “I’m hoping that many, many people will wake up and start looking
at children’s best interests.”

o GLAAD can't
handle the truth, hates the First Amendment Bryan Fischer - GLAAD,
which stands for the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, has taken
umbrage with me for saying on Fox that homosexual behavior "is conduct that
bears enormous psychological and physical risk to those that engage in it" and
"is just as risky and just as dangerous as injection drug use." GLAAD put almost
immediate pressure on the Fox affiliate to apologize for giving me any air time
at all, being the fans they are of the First Amendment and all, and according to
GLAAD, Fox at first said they would. But subsequently, the Fox station has had
an apparent change of heart and has yet to issue the promised apology. Perhaps
it's because Fox did some research and found out I was telling the truth. Here
is the information I used on Fox, pulled this very day off the
CDC's
website (Centers for Disease Control). You will note that these are
cumulative figures from the beginning of the epidemic through 2009, the last
year for which statistics are available.

o The Top Ten Harms of Same-Sex "Marriage" By Peter Sprigg Senior Fellow for
Policy Studies Family Research Council (2011) - Some advocates of
same-sex "marriage" scoff at the idea that it could harm anyone. Here are ten

these effects would become evident only in the long run, but several would occur
immediately. Immediate Effects Taxpayers, consumers, and businesses would be
forced to subsidize homosexual relationships.

o Legalizing Same-Sex Marriage Will Increase Prevalence of Homosexuality:
Research Provides Significant Evidence - Trayce L. Hansen, Ph.D., a
licensed psychologist, recently reviewed extensive worldwide research on
the origins of homosexuality and the impact social endorsement has on the
rate of homosexual behavior. Dr. Hansen's findings are reported in a newly
released article entitled, "Legalizing Same-Sex Marriage Will Increase
Prevalence of Homosexuality: Research Provides Significant Evidence." This
latest piece is the author's third in a series of articles concerning
same-sex marriage, homosexuality, and children. The previous articles in
the series are entitled, "Love Isn't Enough: Five Reasons Why Same- Sex

o Homosexual
U.K. Documentarian Says Gay Lifestyle a "Sewer" of Casual Degrading Sex, Drug
Abuse and Misery Simon Fanshawe is a writer and broadcaster who created the
documentary "The Trouble With Gay Men" after becoming increasingly alarmed at
the shallowness and destructiveness of the "gay lifestyle." The film, made for
BBC 3 television, questions the emotional and psychological immaturity,
narcissism, nihilism and self-destructive tendencies of many in the homosexual
community. Fanshawe says he wants homosexual men to "grow up" and get beyond
their state of "extended adolescence." ...Extreme vanity" he says, has been
"sewn into gay culture." It "is now so mainstream in the gay community that
otherwise intelligent young men are happy to be treated as sex objects on a
demeaning meat rack." ...The documentarian asks the proprietor of a gay sex bath
house, "Paul", who had just related some graphic stories of group sexual
encounters in the establishment, "Are we just swimming around in a sewer which
we're just sort of saying is normal?"...Fanshawe says he is horrified at the
lack of emotional involvement and at the willingness of men to engage in "unsafe
sex." The film includes statistics that show the deadly consequences of the
homosexual lifestyle. One in nine gay men in London is HIV infected and new
cases of HIV have doubled in the city in five years. Incidences of syphilis have
increased in the same time period 616 per cent. "Unsafe" sex, he says, is not
the only way in which gay men are self destructive. "If there's a new drug, gay
men will find it and take it," he states. At one point Fanshawe interviews a
homosexual man who has "done all the drugs" and now campaigns in gay clubs
against the growing use of crystal methamphetamine. The man, who could not be
identified for fear of reprisals from drug dealers, said that crystal meth is
preferred in the gay community because it reduces the inhibitions and allows sex
to be brought to an "animalistic" level "devoid of emotion." The film says that
one in five gay men in London use crystal meth.

o Time to
shut down homosexual clubs - By Linda Harvey
- When are
public
health officials going to intervene and shut down homosexual
clubs and other pro-homosexual programs in our schools? Last week, the Centers
for
Disease
Control released
a report on HIV/AIDS diagnoses between 2001 and 2006. The data revealed
that HIV diagnoses rose over 12 percent annually among MSM â€“ that's males
having sex with males â€“ in the 13 to 24 age group. Among all MSM, HIV/AIDS
diagnoses are up over 8 percent during that time period (an estimated 1.5
percent annually). Did you get that? Each year, 12 percent more boys and young
men were diagnosed with HIV. The trend is straight uphill. Yet homosexual
activist groups like GLSEN and PFLAG, in lockstep with the ACLU and even
Planned Parenthood, convince educators that safe-sex condom demonstrations,
"gay straight alliances," and tolerance and diversity lessons are necessary
"support" for those who are presumably born to engage in this behavior. Our
beautifully designed 14-year-old boys were created to have anal sex? Right.

For those involved with children, either in schools,
organizations, etc. are you willing to risk the consequences of promoting a
lifestyle that produces dire health and emotional trauma, on your own
children, your nieces and nephews, your neighborhood children? If so, what is
the real "hate" crime?

"On you depend the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important
question, on which rest the happiness and liberty of millions yet unborn. Act
worthy of yourselves." Dr. Joseph Warren, Founding Father & President of
the Massachusetts Congress

Example of what the mainstream media doesn't report: The
increase in children being born out of wedlock in
Scandinaviasince marriage was redefined!William Murray, the chairman of the Religious Freedom
Coalition, warns of the dangers of legalizing same-sex marriage in the United
States. He says Scandinavia has had nearly a decade of legal homosexual
marriage, and it has nearly destroyed the institution of marriage altogether.
More details:
http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/4/132004c.asp (Excerpts: ...In
Scandinavia, illegitimate birth rates exceed 50 percent. The majority of Swedish
and Norwegian children are born out of wedlock, and 60 percent of first-born
children in Denmark have unmarried parents. Meanwhile, marriage rates subtly
decline while, in some countries, divorce rates have skyrocketed to nearly 80
percent. ...Still, as Kurtz noted, such studies have been done. He says they
showed that "throughout Scandinavia (and the West) cohabiting couples with
children break up at two to three times the rate of married parents. So rising
rates of cohabitation and out-of-wedlock birth stand as proxy for rising rates
of family dissolution.")

Same-sex Consequences

The opening paragraph of the
Declaration of Independence(which
Thomas Jefferson also provided the draft):
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to
dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to
assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which
the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God
entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of
mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the
separation." The second paragraph continues: We hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness...."

If you violate the natural law of gravity you will be subject
to the consequences of the fall. If you purposely jump out of a plane without
a parachute the health risks will prove deadly and the consequences also
effect others. If you practice homosexuality and violate "the
Laws of Nature and of Nature's God" you become subject to the
health risks associated with that lifestyle, devastating those who love you,
and heaping healthcare costs upon society. Legalizing such violations against
nature is then compounded by mandating children be taught that violating "the
Laws of Nature and of Nature's God" is acceptable,
which may well place their lives in danger as well if they are persuaded and
deceived into taking such a risk. (See Joshua 7-8 for a lesson in how personal
choices can result into national ramifications.)

"Any single man must judge for himself whether
circumstances warrant obedience or resistance to the commands of the civil
magistrate; we are all qualified, entitled, and morally obliged to evaluate
the conduct of our rulers. This political judgment, moreover, is not simply or
primarily a right, but like self-preservation, a duty to God. As such it is a
judgment that men cannot part with according to the God of Nature. It is the
first and foremost of our inalienable rights without which we can preserve no
other."John Locke

"The liberty enjoyed by the people of these states of
worshiping Almighty God agreeably to their conscience, is not only among the
choicest of their blessings, but also of their rights."George

On August 1, 1776, Samuel Adams stood before a large
crowd on the steps of the Philadelphia Statehouse and delivered a speech
before the formal signing of the Declaration Of Independence on August 2,
1776. In his speech he stated: "We have explored the temple of Royalty and
found that the idol that we have bowed down to has Eyes which see not, Ears
that hear not our Prayers, and a heart like the nether millstone. We have this
day restored the Sovereign to Whom alone all men ought to be obedient; He
reigns in Heaven, and with a propitious Eye beholds His subjects assuming that
freedom of thought, and dignity of self direction, which He bestowed upon
them. From the rising to the setting Sun, may His Kingdom come."

fruit of their doings. Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the
reward of his hands shall be given him."

2 Peter 2:6-8: And turning the cities of
Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an
ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just Lot,
vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man
dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to
day with their unlawful deeds;)

Personal and social consequences of the "alternative lifestyle."

Getting the Facts Straight on Pro-Gay Pamphlet
A joint project by the National Education Association (NEA) and the American
Psychological Association (APA) is giving parents 16,000 new reasons to question
the agenda of national teachers' union leaders. The NEA and APA have partnered
to produce a booklet titled, "Just the Facts about Sexual Orientation and
Youth," which they plan to distribute to every superintendent in America's
16,000 school districts. Among the so-called "facts" in the 24-page document is
the opinion, that homosexuality is "a normal expression of human sexuality." The
booklet also warns teachers not to discuss "transformational ministries" that
suggest homosexuality is a condition that can be changed.

Surveys Reveal Sex Practices of Homosexuals Two recent surveys of the homosexual community --
one in the U.S. and one in Ireland -- reveal that the homosexual lifestyle
continues to be plagued by promiscuity and unsafe sex practices. A survey by The Advocate, a homosexual magazine, revealed
that promiscuity is a reality among homosexuals. The poll found that 20 percent
of homosexuals said they had had 51-300 different sex partners in their
lifetime, with an additional 8 percent having had more than 300. Unprotected
homosexual sex is also a concern among health professionals. A survey in Ireland
by the Gay Men's Health Project found that almost half of homosexuals said they
were having unprotected sex.

iMAPP Study: The Demand for
Same-Sex Marriage - What proportion of gay and lesbian people choose to
marry, when the option is legally available? In a new study, the Institute
for Marriage and Public Policy offers the first estimates of the proportion of
gay people choosing to enter a same-sex marriage in every jurisdiction of the
world where official same- sex marriage statistics are available, including
the Netherlands, Belgium, Massachusetts, and 9 of 13 Canadian provinces and
territories. Gary Gates of the Williams Project at UCLA law (and a leading
demographer of gays and lesbians) said â€œThis fascinating study provides
important information about the willingness of lesbians and gay men to marry
in jurisdictions where marriage is available to them.â€

CDC stats reveal cost of unhealthy homosexual lifestyle

March 2006 - A new report from the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) shows that syphilis is on the rise, especially among
homosexual men. The report found that syphilis has increased 81 percent among
men since the year 2000, while it has declined among women over that same
period. And Bob Knight of the
Culture and Family
Institute believes the figures show yet another contribution to society from
the homosexual lifestyle. "The homosexual activists like to say that these
diseases are an equal threat to everyone," he says, "but the CDC statistics show
that syphilis is falling among women and yet increasing astronomically among men
who have sex with men. So it shows that homosexual activity, in and of itself,
is very dangerous." And the pro-family spokesman maintains that this increase
among homosexual men is not random or incidental. "This reflects a pattern we've
seen with other diseases," he says, "including gonorrhea and new strains of
tuberculosis that are affecting men who have sex with men and who also have
HIV." Homosexuality is a demonstrably dangerous lifestyle, Knight contends, and
he feels the government should do all it can to dissuade people from getting
involved in it. [Bill Fancher]
AgapePres

July 2005 - A
Family Research
Institute spokesman says a study by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) reveals some interesting facts about what homosexuals and
smokers cost the American taxpayer in terms of health-care expenses. The
Institute's Dr. Paul Cameron has taken the CDC numbers and broken them down to
an individual level. By his calculations, smokers cost U.S. taxpayers $156
billion a year. "For direct medical costs, days at work lost, all the indirect
cost of fires and whatever, it figures out to a little over $3,000 per smoker,
per year," he says. But on the other hand, Cameron notes, homosexuals cost
American taxpayers $102 billion a year. And since there are so few homosexuals
as compared to smokers, he says the individual cost is more than $25,000 per
homosexual per year. This calculation is based on the AIDS factor alone, without
taking other unhealthy aspects of the homosexual lifestyle into consideration,
such as transmission of other sexually transmitted diseases or the high
incidence of depression and attempted suicide among homosexuals. [Bill

The following excerpt comes not from Rev. Jerry Falwell or the "religious
right," but a homosexual writer, Jack Hart:

"Many sexually transmitted diseases (STD's) occur more often among gay men than
in the general population. Several factors contribute to this difference: Gay
men have the opportunity to engage in sex with more people than do most
heterosexual men, and some practices common in the gay community -- especially
rimming ["gay" slang for oral-anal stimulation] and anal intercourse [sodomy] --
are highly efficient ways of transmitting diseaseâ€¦."-- Jack Hart, author, Gay
Sex: A Manual for Men Who Love Men (Allyson Publications: Boston, 1991), p. 156,
in section on "Sexually Transmitted Disease." The writer goes on to write that
"the increasing acceptance of safer sex" has lessened the spread of STD's, and
then discusses the "most common" sex-transmitted diseases other than HIV
confronting homosexual men, including: chlamydia, crab lice, giardiasis,
gonorrhea, hepatitis-A and -B, herpes simplex, nongonococcal urethritis,
scabies, syphilis, and venereal warts.

During the interview, Jay
Dagenhart admitted that he tried to commit suicide at one point by diving into a
pool, but God spared his life. â€œâ€¦I landed on my back and my head. And I landed
in the sand and instead of the concrete. So we do know there is a God because
Iâ€™m here and Iâ€™m alive and Iâ€™m not paralyzed, so, you knowâ€¦â€ He also
described seeking out sexual acts in bathhouses. He describes them this way:
These bathhouses
are dark, cavernous, multilevel facilities.

They're small rooms with doors. There are group rooms with monitors, you know,
constantly with every porn movie that you could ever imagine. There's basements.
There's steam rooms. There's showers. They also have larger dark rooms where
just platforms and kind of benches and chairs where you can't really see who
you're having sex with. You're groping and grabbing and fondling one another in
the dark.

Hooking up on the Internet with
crystal meth was yet another way that I could find drugs and sex. The whole idea
behind sex parties is extended periods of time in someone's home or hotel room
and you're walking around naked, lots of drugs, lots of lubricant and lots of
porn. I would be so high, it would be nothing for me to be with 15, 20, 25 men
in a night. It was never a part of my agenda to practice safe sex. You know,
it's always about barebacking, having sex without condoms. That is the norm. You
know, wearing condoms is the rare thing when you're high on crystal meth.

Later in the interview, he says:

My gay brothers are suffering. You know, we have HIV. AIDS is our disease and
now we have the disease of addiction. And it is killing my community. And I'm so
tired--whether it's New York and Chelsea or the Castro in San Francisco or in
Miami, you see us walking around and our eyes are bulging out of our heads.
We're gritting our teeth and we're looking for the next man that we can sleep
with, you know? And the idea of wearing condoms is absolutely out the window.
The agenda is barebacking. The agenda is bugchasing and going out and seeking
the virus because like myself I had...

Jay Dagenhart gives credit to God for sparing his life, but still considers
himself a homosexual. Please pray for Jay that he will see that God has spared
him for a reason and that a homosexual lifestyle is not Godâ€™s perfect will for
his life.

Paul Cameron, one of the nationâ€™s leading researchers on
the health dangers of the homosexual lifestyle, was the first scientist to
document the health effects of second-hand tobacco smoke (1967), the shortened
lifespan of those who engage in homosexuality (1992), and the more frequent
molestation of charges by homosexual foster parents (2003) . He has served as an
expert for the federal government and 5 states. In addition, he has testified as
an expert witness regarding homosexual parents in 11 states. His website is:

HIV/AIDS infections among
gay men increase in the U.S. (December 2, 2004) Once again there is bad
news on the AIDS front, as increasing numbers of gay men in the United States
suffer from this deadly disease even as a successful program for preventing
HIV infection is all but ignored. A new report from the Centers for Disease
Control shows that new HIV and AIDS cases among homosexual and bisexual men
rose 11 percent from 2000 to 2003. About a half-million Americans have died
from AIDS, and homosexual behavior is a risk factor in a majority of those
cases. Yet, proven methods of preventing HIV infection exist. Uganda's "ABC"
model has led to an astounding decline in the number of HIV infections there.
It is high time for the U.S. HIV/AIDS establishment to learn from Uganda's
remarkable success in reducing HIV/AIDS infections through emphasis upon
sexual abstinence and faithfulness. Additional Resources

The Negative
Health Effects of Homosexuality Issue No.: 232 by: Timothy J. Dailey,
Ph. D. - Homosexual activists attempt to portray their lifestyle as normal and
healthy, and insist that homosexual relationships are the equivalent in every
way to their heterosexual counterparts. Hollywood and the media relentlessly
propagate the image of the fit, healthy, and well-adjusted homosexual. The
reality is quite opposite to this caricature which was recently conceded by the
homosexual newspaper New York Blade News: Reports at a national conference about
sexually transmitted diseases indicate that gay men are in the highest risk
group for several of the most serious diseases. . . . Scientists believe that
the increased number of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) cases is the result
of an increase in risky sexual practices by a growing number of gay men who
believe HIV is no longer a life-threatening illness.[1] (Click

Still not enough?TVC Publishes New Report On Next Phase Of Homosexual AgendaJuly 23, 2004 â€“ The next phase of the
homosexual agenda is already in operation but has received little attention in
the national press. In June, 2004, the National Gay and Lesbian
Task Force (NGLTF) announced a new alliance with the Woodhull Freedom Foundation
(WFF). Their alliance is going to "study" what it has described as Americaâ€™s
"archaic" laws dealing with consensual sex between adults and children,
prostitution, and sex acts in public restrooms and parks. The NGLTF/WFF alliance
will then file lawsuits to have these laws overturned. The
NGLTF press release issued on May 28, 2004 described this plan. TVCâ€™s
report,
"Exposed: The Next Phase Of The Homosexual Agenda," details the worldwide
effort by homosexuals to overturn age of consent laws, legalize prostitution,
and overturn laws prohibiting public sex.

"And whoever welcomes a little child

"A general dissolution of principles and manners will more

The Federalist 03-04
Digest: On the culture front, this item on homosexuals from the cover of
Rolling Stone: "Bug Chasers: The Men Who Secretly Long To Be HIV+."
The pop-culture magazine claims, "The men who want the virus are called 'bug
chasers,' and the men who freely give them the virus are called 'gift givers.'
While the rest of the world fights the AIDS epidemic and most people fear HIV
infection, this subculture celebrates the virus and eroticizes it." Dr. Bob
Cabaj, director of behavioral-health services in San Francisco and past
president of the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association notes: "[Homosexual
activists] don't want to address that this is really going on." Cabaj says that
25% of the new AIDS diagnoses are "bug chasers," but Thursday, after pressure
from homosexual groups across the nation, Cabaj put his statistics back in the
closet. That 25% figure may not be accurate, but the degeneracy of homosexual
pathology remains 100% despair.

Dr. John R. Diggs, Jr., has published a 16-page
document on the serious medical dangers of sodomy. This should be in the
hands of politicians, teachers, pastors, and journalists. "The Health Risks
Of Gay Sex," written by Dr. John R. Diggs, Jr., for the Corporate Resource
Council is a must-read for anyone who is fighting the homosexual agenda or
concerned about the normalization of homosexuality among our nation's
teenagers. The report deals with the following issues: Levels of Promiscuity,
Physical Health, Mental Health, Life Span, and Monogamy. According to Dr.
Riggs, "Encouraging people to engage in risky sexual
behavior undermines good health and can result in a shortened life span.
Yet that is exactly what employers and governmental entities are doing when
they grant GLB [Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual] couples benefits or status that make
GLB relationships appear more socially acceptable." Read and distribute "The

Blood Supply: If you've
spoken with family and friends about same-sex "marriage," you've no doubt had to
answer this question: "How will same-sex 'marriage' impact me?" Well, a
controversy brewing in Oregon shows just how dangerous the success of the gay
agenda can truly be. Students at Western Oregon University are demanding that
the Red Cross be banned from conducting blood drives there unless it changes its
donor policy, which rejects blood from men who've had sex with other men because
of the high probability of HIV infection. But that reason isn't good enough for
the people who care more about the success of the gay agenda than they do about
the health of the American public. And if homosexuals meet their goals of
obtaining protected class status and the right to marry, it will soon become
national policy to ban any sort of discrimination against them, putting the
lives of Americans at risk. The truth is, if we let this train leave the
station, the fight over our blood supply will be just one car in a long train of
problems created by same-sex "marriage."

Will Same-Sex 'Marriage' Lead to a Health Care Crisis?In today's USA Today, an article on benefits employers
offer to same-sex couples quoted me as calling attention to the fact that
legalizing same-sex "marriage" and mandating health insurance coverage will
cause premiums to skyrocket for everyone. But the newspaper stopped far short of
giving readers an accurate picture of how those costs will soar. If homosexuals
and their high risk health behaviors are covered, health care costs will force
annual premiums to increase as much as $300-500. One California health care plan
that services 700,000 members found that expenditures for same-sex couples were
17.1 percent higher than for heterosexual couples. And since California law
prohibits insurance companies from passing the increased costs onto the higher
risk groups, every one of those 700,000 members was slapped with a higher
premium. The Human Rights Campaign estimates that drug and other health
care expenditures for a single homosexual HIV/AIDS patient averages
$10,000-12,000 per year. But those costs are expected to swell, as today's
New York Times reports that the average annual cost per person of just one
AIDS drug ballooned from $1500 to $7800, prompting AIDS groups to lobby Congress
for the importation of cheaper drugs. The closer we move towards legalizing
same-sex "marriage" and mandating coverage for homosexuals, the less access the
elderly will have to healthcare and the more American families will be forced to
forgo coverage altogether to join the more than 40 million Americans who
currently have no healthcare coverage.

Rising health care costs are forcing U.S. employers to examine who they have on
their insurance rolls. Companies are trying to cut costs by weeding out
dependents who do not qualify, such as children over a specific age limit.
Previously, employers used annual spot checks to allow employees to update their
own records, but now the company officials are saying that is not enough. Some
major corporations, such as DaimlerChrysler and Ford Motor Company, have turned
to intense audits of the insurance rolls. Both Chrysler and Ford are reporting
significant savings into the millions of dollars after cutting almost 75,000
ineligible dependents. And now some cities, such as Buffalo, New York, are
looking to get into the act. Sam Hoyt, the Democratic representative for
Buffalo, says he believes that this kind of oversight could help government and
school districts save jobs. (http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/4/142004h.asp)

From The Homosexuality Debate -- in the Public Arena - F.
Earle Fox

(Warning explicit and disgusting)

The following figures are taken from one of the largest (850 pp.) studies
on this subject, "The Gay Report" (1979), by two homosexual researchers,
Karla Jay and Allen Young. The pair and their respondents are stunningly candid.
According to their research:

Around 99% of homosexual males engage
in oral sex;
91% engage in anal sex;
82% engage in "rimming", touching the anus
of one's partner with one's tongue and inserting the tongue into the anus;
22% engage in "fisting", inserting one's fist into the rectum of
the partner; 23% engage in "golden
showers", urinating on each other; 4% engage in "scat", the eating of feces,
and in "mud rolling", rolling on the floor where feces have been deposited.

Homosexual promiscuity is enormous. A study in the New England
Journal of Medicine indicates that the average active homosexual male
ingests the fecal material of 23 different men each year (largely from rimming),
and that the number of sexual partners averages nearly 100. Homosexual persons,
per year, on average fellated 106 different men, swallowed 50 of their seminal
ejaculations, and had 72 penile penetrations of the anus.

Medical consequences are so devastating that the average practicing
homosexual person loses from 25% to 40% of his/her lifespan, typically not
living beyond 50 in a culture where we average well into our 70's. Sexually
transmitted diseases (STD's) commonly gotten from homosexual behavior include
gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis A and B, anal cancer, amoebic "gay" bowel
disease, and herpes. Over 50% of American HIV/AIDS cases are contracted by
practicing homosexual persons -- less than 3% of the population. The Red Cross
will not accept blood from anyone who has had same-sex sex, even once, since
1977. Joel Beltz writes in World Magazine, "Here is a whole category of
people in our culture today unable to perform a basic function of human society
â€“ to share their blood with their fellow human beings."

Homosexual behavior is lethal. Nearly 1,000,000 Americans have been
infected with HIV -- and 400,000 have died -- of a behavior-caused, and thus
preventable, disease, largely because those in the medical watchtowers have
remained silent as this enemy of social order entered the gates and seized the
levers of power. There is no excuse for the abysmal ignorance of the public, nor
for the cowardice of medical (and other) professionals in sounding the warning.

Psychologically, the evidence shows homosexuality to be compulsive and
addictive. When warned that continuing their behavior would result in a high
death rate, homosexually active persons typically respond that such a request
was an attack on their identity and personhood, not on their behavior.
"Homosexuality is who I am, not what I do!!" The continued justification and
practice of self-destructive behavior, even when warned, is evidence of a
compulsive and addictive pattern.

The social consequences of the homosexual agenda include the deconstruction
of marriage and of sexual morality, and the criminalization of honest discussion
through "hate-crime" laws.

Given these facts: Would a loving person (God, or a compassionate
legislator) approve homosexual behavior, or reject and forbid it? Would such
behavior be consistent or inconsistent for persons made -- male and female -- in
the image of a loving and reasonable God?

The Five
Big Myths of Pro-'Gay' Religion

Written especially for teens and college students, who hear these way
too often. From Mission America,
www.missionamerica.com.

Myth # 1:GOD LOVES EVERYONE, SO HOMOSEXUALITY IS FINE. God does love
everyone, but not our sins, which is the reason Christ died and rose again--to
save us from sin. God loves murderers, anorexics and liars-- and wants these
people to stop their damage to others and to themselves. It's the same with
homosexuality. Such desires are directly the opposite of positive, healthy
choices, and scientists remain unconvinced that any humans are born to become
homosexual. Plenty of evidence attests to the damage to the body, mind and
spirit resulting from homosexual sex. There are many logical reasons why it
remains a sin.

Myth #2: THE BIBLE DOES NOT OPPOSE HOMOSEXUALITY. If the Bible's clear
passages against homosexuality can't be believed, it isn't believable on
anything. Consider: "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an
abomination." (Leviticus 18:22) And, "For this reason God gave them up to vile
passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against
nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in
their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and
receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due." (Romans
1:26-27) And these aren't the sole passages, but the others are similar and
convey the same message: Don't.

Myth # 3: THE STORY OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH DID NOT CONDEMN HOMOSEXUALITY.
On the contrary, the destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis
19) is quite obviously about homosexuality. The sins of the people were
numerous, but their "trademark" sin was homosexual sex, which is apparent in
the original passage as well as later Bible references to the event.

In the Genesis account, Lot and his family barricade themselves and their male
guests inside their home as protection against the sexual depravity of a gang
of males: "Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom,
both young and old, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house.
And they called to Lot and said to him, 'Where are the men who came to you
tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally.'" (verses 4-5)
Lot begs them to go away, then offers them his virgin daughters instead (one
more clear indication of the predators' goal). Despite Lot's questionable
parenting here, the mob threatens Lot and accuses him of being judgmental
(shades of 2005!), then begins to break down the door. The two guests, who've
previously been identified as angels (verse 1), pull Lot back into the house
and send a blinding light to disperse the crowd. The angels then instruct Lot
and his family to flee the town, which they are about to destroy. Thi!
s destruction occurs soon afterward.

The Bible provides a laundry list of grave sins committed by the Sodomites:
pride and insolence (see Ezekiel 16:49-50; 2 Peter 2: 6-10), gluttony (Ezekiel
16:49), greed and laziness (Ezekiel 16:49-50) disrespect toward God and His
true believers(Isaiah 3:9, Ezekiel 16:50), false worship (Deuteronomy
29:23-26; Isaiah 1:10-11; Jeremiah 23:14; Ezekiel 16: 46-56), lies, especially
by the prophets/priests (Jeremiah 23:14), violence (Isaiah 1:21) and
neglecting the poor and orphaned (Isaiah 1:23, Ezekiel 16:49-50). The main sin
mentioned is sexual immorality (Jeremiah 23:14; Ezekiel 46-56, 2 Peter 2:6-18;
Jude 7-19), specifically homosexuality (Genesis 19:4-5; Ezekiel 16:50; 2 Peter
6-18; Jude 7-8) Subsequent references to the "twin cities" in both the
Old and New Testaments use them as a metaphor or simile for many types of bad
behavior, by which we get more information about their nature and reputation.
Sodom and Gomorrah are also frequently referenced as examples of total corr!
uption, subject to God's wrath (Genesis 18:20; Deuteronomy 29:23; Isaiah
13:19; Jeremiah 49:18 and 50:40; Amos 4:11; Zephaniah 2: 9-10; Romans 9:29; 2
Peter 2:6-19), including by Jesus Himself (Matthew 10:15 and 11:24; Luke
10:12). Jesus was describing the fate of those cities refusing to hear the
Gospel.

Some ill-informed Christian writers contend Sodom and Gomorrah really
describes the consequences of being "poor hosts" to strangers, violating
customs in the ancient near East. When one reads all the relevant Bible
passages, such a pitiful and inadequate explanation is not possible.

Myth #4: REAL CHRISTIAN LOVE CALLS FOR ACCEPTANCE OF HOMOSEXUALITY. On
the contrary, the authentic Christian is characterized by devotion to truth
and love as revealed by Christ, not mushy sentimentality swayed by today's
worldly trends. While Christ is often merciful even to those who have sinned,
He never excuses sin or calls it less than what it is. John the Baptist's
primary message to the world to prepare for Christ was not a call for
tolerance; it was a call to repentance. (Matthew 3:2; Mark 1:4) Christ told
the woman caught in adultery, "Go and sin no more." (John 8:11) Love as
exemplified by Christ was always framed with His truth and righteousness.
Christ said, "He who has my commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves
Me." (John 14:21) and "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word." (John 14:23)
Real love starts with love of Christ and all He taught.

The passage, "Judge not, that you be not judged" (Matthew 7:1) cautions us to
judge carefully without hypocrisy, not to withhold judgment. Four verses
later, Christ completes the thought with, "Hypocrite! First remove the plank
from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your
brother's eye." (Matthew 7:5)

Myth #5: JESUS NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY. And Jesus is
never quoted on the subjects of rape or wife beating either. Would that mean
that these actions are okay? Christ was God on earth, and as such, was part of
all the Old Testament teaching on sexual morality. The Jews were more than
familiar with this, so there was a lot that didn't need to be said. And Christ
specifically described marriage as being "from the beginning" between one man
and one woman. (Matthew 19:4-6; Mark 10:6-9).There's no reason not to believe
as the apostles did that sexual immorality still included homosexual acts.

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved
darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
For every one that does evil hates the light, and doesn't come
to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved."
Jesus - John 3:19-20

GLADD, GLSEN, Act-up, NAMBLA, Eagle, Lambda, NGTLF, ACLU,
Liberals, and the popular Media hate the Light, which reveals their deeds, and
is why they have devised a deceptive agenda using our courts and
public schools, to undermine the will of the majority into forcing that
which "goes against nature" as being "normal."
